How much is 'modernity' screwing up your life right now?


Given it has suppressed an entire planet of innovation, prosperity, possibility, and experience, I would say it has negatively impacted all of us in ways you can't fathom.


At least in the US, modernity has pretty well trashed our food supply and education system. Those both seem pretty important.


Covid measures, enshittification of internets. Chat control in Russia has outcomes in people being exploited by thugs in the whole country. How can you observe the world without immediately seing these?


The same reason most people are a bit “thick” , stuff just won’t go into their brains or register with them. They have the mind of children but are in adult bodies with adult voices


I'm actually surprised people wake up an give two fucks about any of this to be honest. It sounds like people looking for things to complain about.

The "enshitification" of the internet makes me laugh.

Because doing that is your job?


I work in open source (donations based) and I don't believe the internet has been ruined.
